You know, when this discussion started, I looked at the pictures and thought 
to myself, "What if that isn't hoops on the outside but a tiered skirt with 
banding at the hem of each tier?" 

In that case, might not a servant be wearing a fashion similar to the upper 
class folks, but without the added luxury of the hoops?  Perhaps a castoff 
dress from her mistress?
